This group I met last year at the fluff fest and rimastone strapositivo impressed so I decided to interview him.
Hello, introduce yourself to the Italian boys, who you are what you do etc etc
Hello everyone!
We formed this group because we all grew up together, and we all had the same ideals. We have many things in common and it was a long time we wanted to do something that would represent the way we live and see the world. When we came in contact with the hardcore scene we found the boys very active and this has attracted our attention. People who did everything by themselves, writing fanzines, organizing concerts, workshops, debates, picnics vegans, distributing leaflets on very important issues.
music with a message. It makes no sense to do something that is not our actions and our beliefs. The idea is to speak our minds. Playing is just an excuse to scream about what we love or hate, what interests us and what we despise. We make music, we explain our lyrics, we try to talk about subjects that uncommon but are important to us. And while we dream out loud, trying to build a new world from scratch.
Fortunately, you are one of those groups that still feel very close to the diy. In the field of music for you was a choice or the only way possible?
Well, it's something that comes naturally. The DIY spirit is in our blood. We grew up doing everything ourselves, and what we have achieved as a group and as individuals has come because we are committed and focused than in achieving our goals. We appreciate the DIY hardcore punk scene because we think that is what makes us different from the world around us, which only count the money and where they are visible oppression and exploitation. We will DIY spirit alive. This is our way of doing things. We are lucky ourselves to have been able to print our t-shirt, stickers, have put out our record and organized our first European tour. We want to maintain this way of life - Hardcore for the kids, not for the fuckin 'system!
How is the environment in Portugal punk-hardcore? There are places having to be able to play, fanzines etc etc?
say that hardcore is almost dead, in Portugal. At one time there were 500 people at the concerts, will now be 50 or less, depending on the concerts. There is hardly any fanzine, the few which are mainly talking about music. There are many people who carry the distro to concerts, belonging to the bands playing. There are many places to play and this makes it difficult to organize some good concerts. People seem more interested than anything else to collect vinyl, buy nike shoes, order the merchandising groups and it all ends here. Only a few are really interested in hardcore punk culture, resistance against this capitalist society, their health, texts and messages of the groups. It 's more simple, as always, to adapt and follow the fashions. Together I am a hardcore group that lives as such, putting into practice all that we experienced in the past, combined with what we have learned in all this time. Always trying to fight for good causes.
Before you know you do not know any Portuguese band. Which groups in your country you recommend readers to go Po-zine?
Yes then ascoltatevi X-Acto, New Winds, Time X, These Hands Are Fists, symbiosis, Finger Pointing, Pressure, Critical Point.
know Italian bands of the past or present? (Not valid responses: wretched, denial, raw power because it would be too easy hahaha)
Ahaha sorry but to tell the truth I never heard any of those groups .. ahaha groups I know are: Strength Approach, Purification, Reprisal, To Kill, Destroy Babylon.
One thing I greatly appreciated the so-called "Elephant" (tralaltro wonderful disc) was that you put the explanation of the word .. there are very few groups that do, unfortunately ...
Thank you very much for your compliments. It means a lot to us, really. We are pleased that you liked our album. When we play live we talk about our texts. It 's very important to us that people get the message we are trying to pass, which is That's why we wrote the explanation in the CD booklet. Because even if our lyrics are quite easy to understand, there is always something more to add, to explain.
What programs do you have for the future? Are recording a new album? Will turn the world (perhaps stopping in Italy)?
So, we intend to write new songs, record a new album and turn new europe next summer. We also want to turn Brazil by the end of 2010 but we'll see if we can. We are all very taken by the band, we wrote some new text, and we already have new ideas for the future.
Well, I have finished .. if you want to add somthing, go ahead!
Thanks for the interview. Thank you for choosing Together, it is a pleasure to participate in your fanzine. We just want to say that we all make mistakes, nobody is perfect and we're just trying to do our best to make this world a better place for all who live there. Let us be an active group to promote alternative ideas and support the culture Hardcore Punk. We continue to give voice to our opinions, to write about topics that we think should be addressed. We do not know everything, so let to learn from everything and everyone. We fight for freedom. We hate capitalism even though we are still consumers. If we can support the fair trade and organic products we buy. We do not buy the products of the exploiters. We do our best to live Vegan. We are free from any form of drugs. No racism, speciesism nothing, no discrimination of any kind. For liberation. Together 2010 DIY or die.
